Despite the bearish price action across the entire crypto sector being led by <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/bitcoin-for-beginners">Bitcoin</a>, analysts are still optimistic about BTC’s potential recovery to higher levels.
“Bitcoin bouncing back up, now back above the 200-day EMA,” Bitcoin analyst Jelle <a href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1808908578897473552" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">wrote</a> a June 4 post on X. 
The analysts’ sentiments appear to have been informed by <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-loses-200-day-trendline-first-time-in-10-months">Bitcoin’s drop below</a> the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) during the early Asian trading session on June 4, as earlier reported by Cointelegraph.
The trader explained that if Bitcoin price produces a daily candlestick close above this level, “we’re looking at a successful sweep of the lows,” followed by a retest of the 200-day EMA and a potential bullish divergence from the daily relative strength index (RSI).
Fellow analyst Skew <a href="https://x.com/52kskew/status/1808714751729619375" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">shared</a> the following chart on July 4: The Bitcoin price is retesting the “200D MA” for the first time since October 2023, before the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-spot-bitcoin-etf-approvals#:~:text=The%20historic%20approval%20paves%20the,Bitcoin%20as%20its%20underlying%20asset.">approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs</a>.
According to the analyst, the latest drop seen in the price of the pioneer cryptocurrency has been fueled by “trend rejection and reversal” around $64,000. 
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “So in order for this HTF MA to actually act as a systematic trigger for the market, we need to see market demand &amp; reversal signs.”
